Planet X, also called Planet Nine, is a hypothetical planetary body seven times the mass of Earth lurking behind Pluto. If ...

Unlike Earth, where the Moon orbits the planet, Pluto and Charon orbit each other, forming a binary system that is more ...

A researcher has used advanced models that indicate that the formation of Pluto and Charon may parallel that of the Earth-Moon system. Both systems include a moon that is a large fraction of the size ...
